JEREMY SHERMAN ENTERS SATURDAY’S VALVOLINE USAC/CRA RACE AT PERRIS! |
|
(MAY 26, 2004, PERRIS, CA) Another late entry for this Saturday’s
Salute to Indy Valvoline USAC/CRA Sprint Car race at Perris Auto Speedway is
exciting Phoenix, Arizona star Jeremy Sherman. Sherman, 27, will be behind the wheel of Anne Wilkerson’s National Cold Storage/Shaver Specialties bright blue #11. The 1995 USAC Western Midget Rookie of the Year, Sherman last drove the Wilkerson entry at The PAS on April 10th when he was ninth fast qualifier, won his heat and placed thirteenth in the 30-lap main event. Sherman is well known in the sprint car world for his breathtaking charges through the pack. His best appearance at The PAS thus far in 2004 came on April 24th when he guided Buzz Shoemaker’s #0 from fourteenth to third in the main. Of course, no one can forget the job he did at last seasons Budweiser Oval Nationals when he finished second after starting 21st. He passed 19 cars on the night including the likes of superstars J.J. Yeley, Brent & Bud Kaeding, Damion Gardner, Richard “The Gasman” Griffin, Cary Faas, Jac Haudenschild, John Scott, Troy Rutherford, Tracey Hines, Tony Elliott, Levi Jones and Josh Wise. Earlier this year Sherman thrilled his hometown fans by starting seventeenth and finishing second to Cory Kruseman at the Gary Sokola Classic at Phoenix’ Manzanita Speedway. This Saturday Sherman, who is seventh in the Valvoline USAC/CRA point standings despite not having a steady ride, joins an already star studded field that includes Rutherford, Tony Jones, point leader Rip Williams, Mike Kirby, Damion Gardner, Brian Venard, Greg Bragg, Steve Ostling and Ventura's fast qualifier Gary W. Howard. Saturday’s race, like all Valvoline USAC/CRA races at The PAS, is presented by longtime open wheel racing supporters Temecula Valley Pipe & Supply and Vista Paint. Spectator gates will open at 5:00 PM on Saturday. Advance tickets are on sale now by calling 1-800-595-4849, (909) 940-0134 or on the Internet at www.tix.com or www.perrisautospeedway.com.
